In keeping with the club's theme

hook “The President’s Lady.”
Mrs. Andrew Jackson was born 1
Rachel Donelson on a prosperous ’
plantation in the western part of
Virginia, which is now Tennessee, j—
She was one of eleven children.
The story of her tragic first
^marriage to Lewis Rbbard, which
soon erided in separation, and j
what Rachel thought was divorce, ]
was one of the main weapons An-
drew Jackson’s enemies used ' _
against him in his campaign for
the presidency. She was married
to Jackson for two years before
they learned the divorce had not
been legal and their marriage thus
not legal.
Rachel Jackson lived to know
that her husband was elected to
the presidency, however, the grief
and shame that she had been sub-
jected to during the campaign
